With humble apologies to all those who have built binaries for TL'09
already, I have just committed a minor xetex bugfix (v.0.994.2) to the
TeX Live source tree (svn rev. 13951).
If some people are not able to rebuild to pick up this fix, it's not
critical -- the patch addresses a performance problem but should not
have any effect on compatibility or features; it does not even
require .fmt files to be recreated. So if some architectures end up
getting the fix, and others don't, that's OK -- it will just mean that
certain (unusual) font-loading usage patterns don't perform as well on
the unfixed architectures.
BTW, note that if you have an existing build tree around, it should
work to do "svn update", then cd into Work/texk/web2c and issue "make
xetex && strip xetex" to get a new binary without repeating the entire
Build process.
